KOHO is a dynamic, multi-disciplinary, cultural, non-profit arts organization, in development for and by artists & creators, in San Francisco’s Japantown. KOHO preserves the long standing traditions of Japantown while designing authentic, innovative, immersive experiences that reflect cultural narratives, and fuel economic growth to revitalize San Francisco’s Japantown for generations to come. Celebrating the ever evolving creative spirit of the Japanese and Japanese-American community, KOHO gives voice to immigrant ancestors, the strength and resilience of those who endured the incarceration experience of World War II, the residents and businesses displaced during the Redevelopment era in the 1960s-70s, and the narratives of the multi-ethnic, intergenerational community of today, many who are longing for a deeper connection to their heritage, to place, purpose and pride.
